SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

ETC offers members the opportunity to sponsor events or items at the Annual Conference. Sponsorship is a powerful way to increase brand visibility so your company stands out in the delegation leading this global gathering.

Benefits include upgraded location and larger display space in the International Bazaar—the most heavily trafficked area just for sponsors. Square footage of display space varies with investment level and venue choice.

Booking a Sponsorship
ETC reviews and confirms requests for sponsorship on a first-paid basis. Many sponsor venues are renewed annually by longstanding partners. In addition to the published listing of valued sponsor venues, ETC also customizes online annual sponsorship opportunities to align with your company’s brand and visibility objectives.

If you are interested in becoming a Conference or Community online sponsor, please contact Carole Erickson, ETC Conference Director and PartnerLiaison.
